lyrics

This star, this star, is all you mean to me
This star, this star, is falling down on me
This ache I bore, is barely keeping me awake
I woke, my soul to sing no more

Now I think we need some solid ground
We need a little help to get out
It’s bound to pour, your hands are cold, you’re freezing, well so am I.

You can’t take anything, not where we’re going
I’ll breathe for the both us, to great unknown

This way we go with careful passenger
In play. In tow. In silent slow motion
We crash, unfold, in warmer parts than that
We say, we've known, our lives unravelling

Now I think we need some solid ground
We need a little help to get out
It’s bound to pour, your hands are cold, you’re freezing, well so am I

You can’t take anything, not where we’re going
I’ll breathe for the both of us, to great unknown
The air’s so thin up there, it’s fading faster
We’ll find a stronger star, save yours for after

Discovered this band via their shared label with Thirty Pounds Of Bone. Folkish but not folk - another great in the line of Scottish bands that marry a musical sincerity with pop sensibility - Orange Juice, Cocteau Twins, Vaselines, Belle & Sebastian - must be all that Irn Bru. alan clark

Potato Flower
by The Scottish Enlightenment

supported by 4 fans who also own “This Star”

I hold St. Thomas as one of the most important and most underated albums of the last decade. Such an intimate yet grande album. When I found out that a follow-up was announced, I was beyond ecstatic. And the day came and I listened to 'Potato Flower'. I was speechless! Such a beautiful evolution. 'Potato Flower' hits you with a wall of slow riffs and emotion. Guitar work that makes me recall bands like Pavement, Bedhead, Low and early The National. Fortunately, what has stayed consistent were the powerful and personal lyrics. With the tragic loss of Scott Hutchinson, it warms my heart to know we still Scottish talent such as James Graham and David Moyes. This album is brilliant. And clearly one of the best albums of 2018.
